Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-08-17
Reported Railways.

A line of railway from Los Angeles
to Hueneme has been surveyed from
Vernon over the Cienega, La Brea and
Rodeo de las Aguas ranchos to and
through the Coldwater cafion; thence
to the Simi and Hueneme. Another
has been surveyed through the
Cahuenga Pass to the Simi via the
San Fernando Valley and the Santa
Susanna mountains to the Simi. An
other and cheaper line was mentioned
in the HERALD of yesterday from East
Los Angeles to Simi via the south side
of the San Fernando valley. Still an
other line is altogether probable from
Pasadena to the Simi via Monte Vista
and San Fernando. Those who doubt
these reports are informed that all
these lines have been surveyed and
their advantages are being considered
by three different railway companies.
There is no question or manner of
doubt but one of these lines will be
built, and that another will be built
from Pomona to the coal mines and
fire clay banks in the Temescal cailon.
The good people of Whittier will
soon build railway to Fulton Wells
or Norwalk. Railway rumors filled
the air yesterday and many of them
will soon prove true.
